Not sure if this is the right place for this but I've got a problem with an off flavor after sitting in the keg for a week or so.
I brewed the beer, wort tastes fine. I transfer to FV and after fermentation, the beer tastes fine. I transfer to brite, which is in the cooler, and try multiple samples while in brite, beer tastes fine. (Once in brite, the beer stays 37 or below through kegging and storage) I keg the beer and put on tap and beer tastes fine. Over the next week, the beer starts to take on a smokey flavor. It's like this at the other locations where our beer is served so it's not our tap lines. I thought maybe it was the kegs but after cleaning I took a few apart to check for beer stone or other crud....kegs were squeaky clean, so this tells me our cleaning process is working. I am at a loss and we can't keep dumping beer.
